Question :26

The length and breadth of the floor of the room are 20 feet and 10 feet respectively. Square tiles of 2 feet length of different colours are to be laid on the floor. Black tiles are laid in the first row on all sides. If white tiles are laid in the one-third of the remaining and blue tiles in the rest, how many blue tiles will be there ?

Answer: (b)

Area left after laying black tiles

= [(20 – 4) × (10 – 4)] sq. ft. = 96 sq. ft.

Area under white tiles = $(1/3 × 96)$ sq.ft = 32 sq. ft.

Area under blue tiles = (96 – 32)sq.ft = 64 sq.ft.

Number of blue tiles = ${64}/{(2 × 2)}$ = 16

Question :27

ABCD is a quadrilateral with AB = 9 cm, BC = 40 cm, CD = 28 cm, DA = 15 cm and angle ABC is a right-angle.
What is the area of triangle ADC ?

Answer: (b)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

In right triangle ABC,

AC = $√{(AB)^2 + (BC)^2} = √{(40)^2 + (9)^2}$ = 41 cm

In ΔACD, AC = 41 cm, AD = 15 cm, CD = 28 cm

Area of ΔACD = $√{S(S - a)(S - b)(S - c)}$

Where S = ${a + b + c}/2 = {15 + 28 + 41}/2$ = 42 cm

∴ Area of ΔACD = $√{42(42 - 41)(42 - 28)(42 - 15)}$

= $√{42 × 1 × 14 × 27} = 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 = 126 cm^2$ .

Question :28

If a wire of length 36 cm is bent in the form of a semicircle, then what is the radius of the semi-circle?

Answer: (a)

Length of wire = 36 cm

∴ Perimeter of semi-circle = πr + 2r

⇒ 36 = r$({22}/7 + 2)$

⇒ r = ${36 × 7}/{36}$ = 7 cm

∴ Radius of semi-circle = 7 cm

Question :29

If a transversal intersects four parallel straight lines, then the number of distinct values of the angles formed will be

Answer: (b)

Let $l_1 , l_2 , l_3$ and $l_4$ be your straight lines and t be a transversal.

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

∠1 = ∠3

∠2 = ∠4 [alternate angles]

Similarly angles formed by

$l_2 , l_3$ and $l_4$ are also equal in same way as $l_1$ corresponding angles

∠1 = ∠5 & ∠5 = ∠7

∠6 = ∠2 & ∠6 = ∠8 and so on

Only two distinct angles are formed

∴ Option (a) is correct.

Question :30

A conical cavity is drilled in a circular cylinder of 15 cm height and 16 cm base diameter. The height and the base diameter of the cone are same as those of the cylinder. Determine the total surface area of the remaining solid.

Answer: (b)

Total surface area of the remaining solid = Curved surface area of the cylinder + Area of the base + Curved surface area of the cone

= 2πrh + π $r^2$ + π rl

= 2π × 8 × 15 + π × $(8)^2$ + π × 8 × 17

= 240π + 64π + 136π

= 440 π $cm^2$
